And.as.Lee.paused.to.listen,.the.song.rose.loud.and.clear.from.the.sea.of.green.and.silver.in.the.Slytherin.section.of.the.stands:.

Angelina.—.looks.like.she.s.got.just.the.Keeper.to.beat!.‐.SHE.SHOOTS.‐.SHE.‐

Bletchley,.the.Slytherin.Keeper,.had.saved.the.goal;.he.threw.the.Quaffle.to.Warrington.who.sped.off.with.it,.zig‐zagging.in.between.Alicia.and.Katie;.the.singing.from.below.grew.louder.and.louder.as.he.drew.nearer.and.nearer.Ron..
.Weasley.is.our.King,.Weasley.is.our.King,.He.always.lets.the.Quaffle.in.Weasley.is.our.King..
Harry.could.not.help.himself:.abandoning.his.search.for.the.Snitch,.he.wheeled.around.to.watch.Ron,.a.lone.figure.at.the.far.end.of.the.pitch,.hovering.before.the.three.goalhoops.while.the.massive.Warrington.pelted.towards.him..
.‐.and.it.s.Warrington.with.the.Quaffle,.Warrington.heading.for.goal,.he.s.out.of.Bludger.range.with.just.the.Keeper.ahead.‐..
A.great.swell.of.song.rose.from.the.Slytherin.stands.below:.
.Weasley.cannot.save.a.thing,.He.cannot.block.a.single.ring….

But.the.scream.of.delight.came.from.the.Slytherins..end:.Ron.had.dived.wildly,
.his.arms.wide,.and.the.Quaffle.had.soared.between.them.straight.through.Ron.s.central.hoop..

.WEASLEY.WILL.MAKE.SURE.WE.WIN.WEASLEY.IS.OUR.KING….
.Harry,.WHAT.ARE.YOU.DOING?..screamed.Angelina,.soaring.past.him.to.keep.up.with.Katie...GET.GOING!..
Harry.realised.he.had.been.stationary.in.midair.for.over.a.minute,.watching.the.progress.of.the.match.without.sparing.a.thought.for.the.whereabouts.of.the.Snitch;.horrified,.he.went.into.a.dive.and.started.circling.the.pitch.again,.staring.around,.trying.to.ignore.the.chorus.now.thundering.through.the.stadium:.
.WEASLEY.IS.OUR.K1NC,.WEASLEY.IS.OUR.KING…..
There.was.no.sign.of.the.Snitch.anywhere.he.looked;.Malfoy.was.still.circling.the.stadium.just.as.he.was..They.passed.one.another.midway.around.the.pitch,
